2. Scope
The objective of the Plant Design Manual is to provide basic design information and
comprehensive references to other technical documentation for use by Technical
Safety Audit/Hazop teams and engineers involved in plant extension/modification or
in design integrity/performance evaluation.

Emphasis is on the preparation of the document as a reference manual, and

comprehensive calculation details or information contained in other project
generated documentation, (listed overleaf), should not be included. The Plant
Design Manual should principally be a compilation of documents generated during
the plant design, and there should only be a minimal amount of specially prepared
material.

With the introduction of the Plant Design Manual, design philosophy need not be
included in the Operating Manuals.

A Plant Design Manual shall be prepared for every new facility and major plant
extension or modification

2.1 Definitions

for the purpose of this document the following definitions shall hold.

Shall - the word ‘shall’ is to be understood as mandatory.

Should - the word ‘should’ is to be understood as strongly recommended.

May - the word ‘may’ is to be understood as indicating a possible

course of action.

The Company - Petroleum Development Oman LLC of Muscat, Sultanate of Oman.

User - the specialist engineer, or consultant who applies this standard

in the execution of a project.

The Consultant - the party to the Contract with the Company who is responsible for
providing the design, engineering, and other related consultancy
services under the Contract.

Manufacturer/ -the party responsible for the manufacture or supply of equipment

Supplier and services to perform the duties specified by the Consultant
or Company.

Vendor -the term ‘Vendor’ is considered to be synonymous with the term

Manufacturer/Supplier.

2.2 Process Definition

Design is mapped in the Shell EPBM v3 via the A-12 process, which is
Design/Construct/Modify/Abandon facilities. The sub processes covering design are
the A-12.01 process Prepare Conceptual Design and the A-12.02 process Prepare
Detailed Design.

Conceptual Design including Front-End Design is triggered from the Asset

Management process by a development requiring new or modified facilities or by
the need to improve an existing asset's performance or integrity. The main purpose
of this development phase is to evolve the functional requirements for a facility into
a functional specification, which provides the level of definition required to generate
a budget estimate for the facility.

Detailed Design follows completion of Conceptual/Front-End Design. The main

objective of this phase is to produce specifications, drawings, construction work
packages, commissioning plans, materials take-off and spares list such that the
facility may be built, commissioned and started up. SP-1134 provides the General
Specification for Detailed Design and Engineering of Oil and Gas Facilities.

2.3 Deliverables

The deliverables from the design process is fully detailed in CP-117 Project
Engineering Code of Practice. 

Normally, for a single facility, the information and documentation required would not
exceed that which could be contained in two 50 mm binders.

It should be noted that the PDO Plant Design Manual is essentially different from
the ‘Design Book’ defined in DEP 01.00.02.11-Gen, which is basically a project
design file specifically developed for SIPM – Manufacturing working processes.

The Plant Design Manual forms part of a series of technical documents to be

prepared for a Project for the maintenance of design integrity. A number of these
documents and drawings are to be handed over to operations for retention and kept
as-built throughout the life of the facility as detailed in SP-1131, ‘Handover and As-
built Documentation'.

The Plant Design Manual should contain references to the following (see also 4.2):

3 Requirements for Preparation

- Presentation of Plant Design Manuals, i.e. presentation of layout of text and
illustrations, numbering, presentation of data and binding, shall be in
accordance with ERD-00-10, ‘The Proposal, Production, Issue and
Maintenance of Engineering Reference Documents’, with the following
amendments:-

- The front and spine of each binder shall have a white background with
lettering printed in black. The minimum letter height shall be 5 mm on the
front and 3 mm on the spine. Refer to Appendix 1 for example.

- If spine width permits, the spine title shall be printed across the spine,
otherwise it shall be printed along the spine in such a way as to be readable
when the manual is lying flat with the front cover uppermost.

- The maximum depth of paper in any binder shall be 40 mm. The maximum
binder size shall be 50 mm measured as the inner dimension of retaining
rings.

- The rings of the binder shall be attached to the back of the binder, not the
spine.

- The Consultant’s name or logo shall not appear on front or spine of the
binders.

- For small projects, all the A4 documents and A3 drawings and documents
may comfortably fit into one A4 binder.

- For larger projects, A3 drawings and documents shall be in A3 binders.

The front and spine of each binder shall clearly state:-

PLANT DESIGN MANUAL

‘Field name – plant (extension) name

‘Volume x of y’ (if more than one binder)

5. Updating of Manuals
When major plant extensions or modifications are made, substantially invalidating the
existing manual, a new manual shall be prepared.

For minor changes the manual shall be updated by the preparation of addenda sheets.
The addenda shall contain cross-references to the numbered sections of the manual
initially prepared for the facility, indicating the changes made. Each addenda sheet shall
be numbered sequentially.

A front sheet shall be prepared for each set of addenda sheets, containing the following
information:

PLANT DESIGN MANUAL

ADDENDUM A (alpha-sequential letters shall be used

for each issue following a minor plant change)

PDO will advise the Consultant at the start of a project whether addenda sheets or a new
updated manual is required.

When a number of small plant modifications occur on a particular facility over a period of
time, resulting in multiple addenda, PDO Engineers may request the initiation of an
exercise to integrate all addenda into a new manual.
